CFP: International Journal of Traditional Arts

The new International Journal of Traditional Arts invites submissions. In line with the journal’s focus, the editors wish to attract interesting articles from around the world with a focus on the contemporary practice and policy of traditional music, dance, drama, oral narrative and crafts. They define ‘traditional arts’ as artistic and creative practices that function as a marker of identity for a particular cultural group and that have grown out of their oral tradition or that have been newly created using characteristics derived from oral tradition (although they would also welcome submissions that look to expand such definitions). The International Journal of Traditional Arts is an interdisciplinary journal, interested in publishing high quality scholarship from across the following disciplines: ethnomusicology, cultural sociology, anthropology, ethnology, ethnochoreology, cultural policy, folklore, musicology, cultural studies, cultural economics, heritage and tourism studies or indeed beyond, that focus upon contemporary policy and practice in the traditional arts.
